Sprinting from speech to speech on the third anniversary of his revolutionary regime, volatile Kassem repeated last week that he would not use force to "liberate" Kuwait-and in the next breath threatened force against Britain. "We shall launch a bitter war against the British if they do not heed right and abandon oppression!" he told the crowds after reviewing a 2½-hour parade of troops and weapons in Baghdad's Liberation Square...
...sends the word back to A.M.A. headquarters in Chicago. From there it is relayed through the Congressman's state and county society to his personal physician. This doctor usually does what he is asked: he phones or wires the Congressman. The legislator is far more likely to heed a trusted, intimate adviser than any number of relative strangers. This technique works poorly with Senators and some big-city Congressmen, but it has proved to be magic with small-town and rural members of the House...
...against the Protestantism that the Y is supposed to offer along with its weight-reducing classes and such, but the days are long gone when the London-founded, 117-year-old Y was an evangelical organization that excluded what Whalen called "Romanists, Jews and infidels." Few Catholics have paid heed to theological lint-picking over what is now virtually a community organization.

...underground tests of more than 19 kilotons-about the size of the bomb that fell on Hiroshima. In return for that, they demanded that both sides declare a "voluntary" ban on smaller, underground nuclear explosions, which are virtually undetectable without inspection. Meanwhile, said the Soviets, they would heed a U.S. call to work jointly toward better detection methods. To the U.S., the Soviet carrot looked tasty. Russia seemed to be conceding that some sort of inspection was necessary and that existing blast-detection techniques needed improvement. Thus the U.S. decided to keep talking rather than resume testing...
...been up for a Sewanee degree, on the ground of his "distinction" and loyal-alumnus pitches for the old school. Each time the faculty, which Waring has frequently attacked for its "naive" support of integration, has managed to kill the idea. But the regents do not have to heed the faculty, and this year they decided to give Waring the nod. Sewanee's President Edward McCrady was especially proud that Waring would get a degree alongside pro-integrationist Professor Kayden. McCrady envisioned "a true ministry of reconciliation." Last week, as Kayden withdrew "until a happier time when there...
